Ubisoft Winnipeg closes, roughly 85 workers affected, report says

Ubisoft Winnipeg has been shut down, with roughly 85 employees losing their jobs, according to an Insider Gaming report published on June 10, 2026 and shared on r/Games the same day. The report says several in-development Ubisoft projects are affected, along with Ubisoft Montreal.

The concrete player-facing detail is a studio-level closure, not a single named game cancellation. Ubisoft Winnipeg functioned as part of Ubisoft's wider development network, so the immediate impact is described as disruption to staff and project support rather than a dated release change.

Insider Gaming says details are still slim and that it has reached out to Ubisoft for comment. That leaves several open items: which projects lose direct support, whether work moves to other studios, and which job categories are included in the layoffs.

The r/Games discussion focuses on the pattern of large-publisher cuts and consolidation. Commenters are asking how support-studio closures affect shipping schedules, technical debt, and quality assurance across Ubisoft's pipeline. Some also noted the typo in the source headline, but the main thread is about the closure and employment impact.

The confirmed facts to use for now are Ubisoft Winnipeg as the affected studio, roughly 85 reported layoffs, and impact across multiple in-development projects. Project-by-project consequences need official confirmation or follow-up reporting from Ubisoft.
